I have finished reading "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest", therefore finishing the Millennium Trilogy – the books are fantastic and it’s a pity that Lisbeth Salander’s adventures have come to an end. My idea now is to go for one of the classics, maybe "Moby Dick", but I’m not sure yet. That is why I ask you for suggestions: would you help me out choosing the next book I’m reading? I’m all ears. :D

Now, if you’ll excuse me, it’s rather early and I haven’t had breakfast yet – this delicious muesli with some yogurt will be perfect.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
Place the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter has melted and sugar dissolved. Remove from the heat, add the oats and almonds and stir to coat evenly.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Serve with milk, yogurt or/and fruit.

Moby dick is extraordinary - but also an investment. You will have to hold on to it for a while! And, from a fellow portuguese speaker to another, do go for the original version, in english!!! Although challenging at times (incredible compendium of sea-related terms!) it is well worth the time.

I have a couple of classics for you and also one of my alltime favorites:classic: Anything by Oscar Wilde, in particular The importance of being Earnest. favorite: Guernsey potato peel literary society. I had a hard time remembering that it was a book and not actual letters between friends.

Read Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. There are so far 5 books in the series, and they are riveting. HBO has also done a TV show on the first book of the series, and it's awesome. It has been nominated for 13 Emmy awards as well. Definately check it out at Amazon!
